Global Environmental Politics Call for papers on disasters and crises

[Erika Weinthal]

Good afternoon, 

We (the editors of Global Environmental Politics) hope that everyone is staying safe and healthy in this crisis. 

For those interested, we are putting out a call for a special section/issue on disasters and crises as a way for the GEP community to continue to contribute to important discourses about issues of paramount importance. Details below. 

Be well. 

Best,

Steven Bernstein, Matt Hoffmann, Erika Weinthal

Global Environmental Politics

Call for Papers

 

“The politics of crises and disasters”

 

Corona Virus. Fires in the Amazon and Australia. Floods in Indonesia. Locusts in Sub-Saharan Africa. Disaster and crisis have always been part of the human condition, but it is increasingly obvious that cross-cutting and cross-fertilizing disasters and crises driven and fuelled by environmental change and globalization are part of the new “normal.” The editors of Global Environmental Politics invite paper proposals (for forums, research articles, and research notes) on the politics of crises and disasters for a special section (or special issue). Now, more than ever, we need to have a rigorous, evidence-based conversation on how humanity can navigate an era that may be dominated by crisis and disaster and the GEP community is well-placed to contribute to that discourse. 

 

Please send abstracts (up to 200 words) for consideration to gepjo...@gmail.com by April 15 (if possible--we are certainly flexible on this given all that is going on)

Reviews of selected papers will be expedited with the goal of having the special section/issue published in Issue 21-1 (January 2021).
